Flat Roof Repair in Eastside Park, Paterson: what actually fails
In Eastside Park a flat porch or rear roof meets slate, tile or a gambrel wall. Where a two-story frame house has one, the membrane has to turn up under the slate, tile or shingle above it, not stop short of it.
Built from 1888 and listed on the National Register in 2004, with 790 contributing buildings; the city designated it a local historic district in 2014 and adopted its design guidelines in 2015.
- The break in pitch on a gambrel
- Historic district rules asked about before a permit
- Porch roofs where they meet the main house
- Dormers and valleys on two-story frame houses

Call (973) 995-9945Note 01Why does my flat roof leak where it meets the house?
Because that is where the membrane has to hand over to shingles or brick, and both systems are weakest there. The membrane should turn up the wall and run under the roofing above it; when it stops short or is just sealed, water gets behind it.
Note 02Is standing water on a flat roof a problem?
If it clears within a day or two, no. Water still sitting days later is testing every seam it touches, and usually means the drain is not at the low point.
Note 03Which flat roof membranes do you repair?
The membranes found on Paterson's porches, additions and rear roofs: TPO, EPDM rubber and modified bitumen. Each is repaired in kind, because mixing systems at a seam makes a new weak point.
